Mutter, die nach der Geburt ihr Augenlicht verlor, hat ihr Sehvermögen wiederhergestellt

***The Telegraph reports:***

A mother who was unable to see after giving birth to her first child has had her sight restored following a plasma donation.

Jessica Kent-Hazledine, 33, said she feared “the worst” when her vision started to deteriorate in April last year.

Two weeks after having her son, the dentist from Cornwall woke up with little vision in her left eye, which she put down to tiredness.

She soon lost vision in her right eye, leaving her “terrified” that she would not see her baby grow up.

After trying various treatment  medics arranged a plasma exchange for Ms Kent-Hazledine, which was carried out by a new service run by NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) in the South West.

As part of the process, a patient’s plasma – the liquid component of blood that helps transport blood cells, nutrients and hormones around the body – is removed from the bloodstream and replaced with donor plasma.

This helped stop the antibodies in Ms Kent-Hazledine’s blood from attacking and damaging the protective layer around the nerve fibres in her eyes.

A year on, Ms Kent-Hazledine can now see clearly out of her right eye and has around 75 per cent vision in her left.
